**Fear of Deportation: Atlanta Journalist’s Warning and Democratic Strategy**
Mario Guevara, an Emmy award-winning immigrant journalist, believes he may have been the first deported under the Trump administration, warning other immigrant journalists to be cautious of aggressive immigration agents who do not respect the media. Guevara was deported on October 3rd following his arrest while live-streaming an anti-Trump protest, despite having a work permit and two U.S. citizen children. Legal proceedings followed, with Guevara’s lawyers arguing his detention aimed to silence his reporting, a claim countered by the administration. His deportation, a result of his reopened immigration case, left him with a brief goodbye to his family and the loss of his American dream.
